On Islam

"This book goes a long way in combating Islamophobia and exposing how media representations often exacerbate the ignorant fear of Islam and Muslims."—Publishers Weekly

"On Islam: Muslims and the Media couldn't appear at a more useful time. . . It is an indispensable guide for reporters and for anyone who wants to gain a more informed, nuanced view of the faith and its adherents."—Bloom Magazine

"The formal essays are equally fresh, candid, and direct. . . . 'Do Muslims Believe in Jesus?' and 'What is jihad?' Read this book to find the answers."—Bloom Magazine

"On Islam: Muslims and the Media discusses the portrayal of Muslims in the media through a series of essays and other writings."—Margarita H. Tapia, University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication, Communication Booknotes Quarterly

"On Islam responds to a clear need of the political moment— the need for more interaction and discussion between journalists, writers and editors of various sorts, and academics. . . . At a time when many academics are drawn to work and writing addressed to the public, the collection represents one attempt to provide journalists writing about Muslims and Islam with a useful model for continuing this work in the future."—Journal of Islamic Studies
